In 2013, Lotte World debuted the world's first 'upscale' ticketing zone and main entrance experience. More akin to a luxury hotel than a traditional theme park, the park dispensed with the traditional plexiglass barriers still found at most parks around the world. This detailed Art Director's Model was built to study this innovative new configuration. The scale of the model is 1:25.

That’s a shame, would have been cool to see it built near Disneyland Paris. Maybe force Disney to step up their game there a bit.

Merlin Entertainments, Europe’s number one and the world’s second-largest visitor attraction operator is actively working with SOGEPA, a public investment fund in Wallonia, to study the potential for a LEGOLAND development in Belgium.

With three existing successful LEGOLAND Resorts in Europe, Merlin is looking to extend its presence in Europe and particularly in the BENELUX/North of France area, which has been identified as a viable market for a fourth European LEGOLAND Resort. LEGOLAND Deutschland, which is highly successful and located in Southern Germany, was the latest European LEGOLAND Park to open 19 years ago.

Merlin Entertainments Group’s COO for LEGOLAND Resorts Group, John Jakobson comments; “We are actively looking at the prospect of bringing a potential LEGOLAND Resort to the many LEGO Fans in Benelux and Northern France. The potential project has received a warm welcome from the leaders of the region. We will continue to work with all the key players in the region, including SOGEPA and we will make a definitive decision on the project, when the effects from the pandemic have passed.”

After reviewing many options, the Merlin team is giving priority to the Gosselies site in Belgium, in the Charleroi region. Merlin will be performing various studies and due diligence of the property in close collaboration with SOGEPA, a Walloon public investment fund, which owns the land.

The project currently under analysis plans to develop a LEGOLAND resort with theme park and accommodation on approximately two thirds of the site (70 ha). Those popular LEGOLAND resorts already opened around the world feature themed accommodation with interactive LEGO features throughout and themed rooms such NINJAGO, Pirate, Kingdom, nightly entertainment, and family-friendly dining. The remaining part of the site could be considered as a possible area for future expansion or a green zone.

'Little Shangri La' is a theme park concept developed for the Chinese city of Chengdu. Designed by Legacy Entertainment for local developer Zhixin, the park is proposed as a second gate to the existing Floraland theme park.

With the recent announcement that European music festival producer 'Tomorrowland' would be collaborating with Plopsaland De Panne on the design of the upcoming 'The Ride to Happiness' roller coaster, here's a look at some other instances in which these two mediums have intersected.

In 2013, Insomniac and its founder, Pasqualle Rotella, collaborated with Legacy Entertainment on the design on several highly-themed stages, including the post-apocalyptic BASSCON stage at the company's signature Electric Daisy Carnival event in Las Vegas.

Legoland Windsor has released an official opening date of May 2021, for its new land, Lego Mythica!

The resort released new concept art, showing two drop towers (fire and ice) which stand at 13 metres tall and information about the highly anticipated flying theatre. This ride will take you under the wings of Maximum, the sky lion and you will meet mythical beasts such as the two headed hydra etc.

Legoland Windsor resort also released information telling us there will be two eateries, the hungry troll restaurant and the beastly bites snack bar!

In the early stages of the design of Universal Studios Singapore, a variety of design concepts were solicited for several of the park's key attractions. For the Madagascar dark ride, Legacy Entertainment proposed a trackless interactive ride with guests taking photos of their journey with onboard cameras. Ultimately, a different scheme was selected, which opened in 2011 as the 'Madagascar: A Crate Adventure' boat ride.

'Dream Mountain' was a theme park concept developed by Legacy Entertainment in 2011 for the city of Fuzhou, China. Unique elements of the design include a two-sided 'main street', as well as the figure-8 hub configuration.
